5. FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions):

Q: What is slope?
- A: Slope represents the rate of change of a line and indicates its steepness or incline.
Q: What does it mean if the slope is undefined?
- A: An undefined slope typically indicates a vertical line, where the x-coordinates of the two points are the same.
Q: Can I use this calculator for non-linear curves?
- A: No, this calculator is specifically designed for calculating the slope of straight lines between two points.
Q: How accurate are the results provided by the Slope Calculator?
- A: The calculator provides results with precision, rounded to two decimal places, ensuring accuracy in most practical scenarios.
